[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6718760, member: 6669384"] Character audit: The DM was handed a sheet at the start of the session, while the other players were waiting. It was computer printed, and therefore readable (in theory), but the player's spelling is atrocious, approaching cryptography. The DM checked the stats (which may have been wrong, because the Amphibious template from Stormwrack includes a -2 Dex adjustment, to make up for the aquatic abilities.) He would need to have all the books available to check which items were legal, and whether the character is in budget. Presuming that he could make out what the words were. The character generator this player uses has an "Equipment" section that's separate from "Magic Items". Any slotted items not currently in their slots show up as Equipment, so it's easy for a DM to miss the fact that there's a magic item listed that might need to be evaluated. He's used that to slip things by in the past. With most players we simply double check their math and give the sheet an eyeball sanity check. If someone abuses the trust implicit in that, it's not hard to slide something by a DM under time pressure to get the game rolling. I'll be taking over at the end of next session, tomorrow. I'll want a copy of the sheet, so I have a week to go over it before we really begin play. [/QUOTE]
